A Warning TO Mechanics.

Los ANGELES, CAL, Oct. II, 1887.
of the numerous methods adopted
to boom the Pacific Coast, there are
none so injurious 10 the workingmen
as the exaggerated reports of scar
city of labor and high wages. \
Unfortunately the poor dupe who
sacrifices his little earthly possessions
to enable him to reach these shores
in quest of STEADY work" and "high
wages" looks in vain for fulfill
ment of these golden promises. n
just now Southern California
is being extensively advertised as the
"promised land" of the poor, ill-paid
slave oflabor. In nearly all the par
agraphs going the rounds of the press
there is such a misrepresentation OF
facts, such barefaced falsehoOds IN
regard to wages and the demands for
labor. that we have taken upon our
selves to refute them, and thus save
hundreds Of families from ruin. n
Already stream of mechanics
and laborers have poured into the
city whose ranks are daily being
sWelled by fresh accessions. Having
expended their last dollar for rail-
road fare, they rush around from one
Job to another, Offering to work for
anything they can get. The scenic
grandeur fails to impress them, and
they find our "glorious climate"
rather thin diet to subsist on. We.
therefore, ask the Eastern press 90
aid us in arresting this hegira, and
we earnest y entreat them to publish
this warning.
Periodically, however, and more
often this time of the year, the mar
ket has been OVercroWded, and only
small number have secured the great
boon of all workingmen, "a home
free and unencumbered." The greater
number live from hand to mouth.
Rents are enormously high; cot
tage of four rooms rents from S25 to
$50 month. Coal is SIG ton, but
ter 40 cents, eggs 40 cents, and other
things in proportion. The average
of wages is but so cents per day more
than Eastern wages, but the cost of
living more than counterbalances.
Out-of door labor can be. pursued for
about ten months in the year; but
the man who attempts it is sure to
break down. Tropical climates will
not permit an unceasing round of
hard manual labor. There is gradual
and steaIthy undermining process
which the victim needs generally
after it is too late to repair the evil.
The Ell Dorado of him who has but
his two brawny arms to exc out Au
existence, is not here. We, your fell
low workmen, know whereof we
speak, therefore heed our warning.
Stay away! Don't come here!

DIED OF A HAIRPIN WOUND
Mrs. Sarah Robertson, who resided
on Jersey Heights, died Wednesday
evening of lockjaw, Two weeks ago
she slipped upon the stairs, and fall
ing backwards drove hairpin into
the scalp at the back of her head. A
comparatively small scalp wound
was the immediate result, and ii APP.
peared so trivial that Mrs. Robertson,
who was picked up by lady friend
who was visiting her, declined to
send for a physician. The wound
seemed to heal. and the lady thought
no more about it. Last Tuesday,
however, she was taken with violent
pains in the neck, and spasms follow
ed, Lockjaw ensued. and Mrs. Rob-

Rights OF ColOred PeOple.

The annual meeting of the Mutual
brotherhood of Liberty of the Unit
ed States was held yesterday at Tn.

Rev. j. G. Allen presiding. The OBJ
ject of the Brotherhood is to secure
to colored people their rights not now
enjoyed, which are guaranteed under
the fourteenth and fifteenth amend.
ments to the constitution of the Unit
ed States, through legal process. The
annual report was read by Rev. VIM.
M, Alexander, the secretary, and
states that "Week after week the press
of the country has recorded cases in
which colored men have been treated
like brutes by white men. Their only
crime was that they claimed their
rights as men of Intelligence and
manhood. In Maryland the statutes
are burdened with inhuman laws,
such as those which stand between
colored lawyers and the Court of APP
peals, and the bastardy laws, which
do not recognize cOlored women as
women. The board of public school
commissioners of Baltimore city have
an unwritten law which prohibits
colored persons from teaching in col
ored public schools. In consequence
of this young colOred men and Wo-
men who have passed through gram
mar. and high schools and universe
ties, and have obtained certificates as
teachers, are obliged to emigrate to
other States to pursue their calling.
There are cOlored school accommO-
datiOns for only 5000 pupils, end
there ought to be for 1000 to $4,000,
or one-fifth of the 65, 900 to 10000 col
ored population. The constant muir
dering of colored men by Judge
Lynch is another important matter
that concerns US. We believe that
all classes of aW-breakers among our
people should pay the full penalty of
the law. Yet we cannot help feeling
that if white men are permitted to
be tried in the court for crimes against
women col0red men should be allow
ed to have a hearing, and the right OF
bail, especially where doubt is ex-
pressed of their guilt"

Resolutions were adopted denounc-
ing lynching of Blgus at Frederick
as "a crime against the State, society,
the colored race and humanity" and
censuring the ''sheriff and other pub
lie officers as guilty of gross criminal
neglect" Remarks were made by
Rev. w. H. Weaver, chairman of
the committee on resolutions, and
others. after which the meeting adj
journed. The brotherhood was or

Mckinney shot at the prisoner on tn
horse three times. Lyon fell, held by tn
rope by which his feet were tied under tn
saddle. Mckinney ordered the Sheriff t
